Raquel: Regarding Bush's Back Box, a friend wrote me that he was hoping someone would crack the frequency and start putting their own script into Bush's mouth:

Bush: I love sasquatch, I believe in sasquatch, and if elected I'll make sasquatch a member of my cabinet, probably the Department of the Interior. Oh, and fuck the Jews, and I did a couple of lines of coke off a hooker name Steve's back not more than twenty minutes ago and paid him in Krugerrands that Dick Cheney pulls out from behind his ear. I call my johnson "El Buche."

shrift: I'm working on four computers, wearing glasses and an Ankh Morpork Post Office T-shirt, and listening to They Might Be Giants. Could I be any geekier?

Tom Scola: Not without a special permit.

Sean K: t issues shrift a special permit

Aimee in Bitches, on Emma Jayne's being head down and ready to go:

She is fully aware that there is only ONE exit available to her unless it is an emergency. And as far as inflatable safety devices go, she can grap a boob.

Aimee's on a roll....

It started off from an old comedy bit where someone said that when they get pulled over, they keep a maglite in their and when the cop flashed the light in his eyes and ask what he doing, the comic would do the same.

My mind processes being what they are (read:insane) I always thought that would come in handy for those yearly womenly exams. Doc goes down there with his light and there's a little foreman guy who is all dressed in sperlunking gear with a miner's helmet on, wondering who the hell's out there and what's up with him bringing the sun. Anyway, that is VAGINA MAN. He leads the way to the cervix, he's kinda this gruff Jersey construction guy...."Ya gotcher cervix up here, it's strong. Had a baby once-nastiest thing. Took us forever to get shit shored up right again."

Alibelle's commentary on an article about soldiers in Iraq.

But Nadine Stratford of Rock Hill, S.C., said her godson Colin Durham, 20, has been happy with his time in Iraq. She has not heard from him since the platoon was detained.

"When I talked to him about a month ago, he was fine," Stratford said. "He said it was like being at home."

What the hell kind of home is he from???

Bwah! In Buffy.

Lyra Jane: Buffy? Isn't that the show about the blonde chick and the monsters? Ew.

Polter-Cow: No, Lyra, that's 7th Heaven.

Debetesse in Bitches asking the questions we all want answers to:

Does transubstantiated bread count as carbs or protein?

Not a funny, but definitely worth preserving:

Deb in Great Write Way--

And trust me on this, because I have never not wowed people, not ever, not once in my life. And my superwomanness, when it comes to whatever I make, is about as relative as dust and about as insubstantial as a ray of moonlight. That stuff doesn't matter. It can only hinder.

Not easy, but true. The creation is the stuff that matters. Give it every weapon you can.

Jesse , in Natter:

And, after watching America's Next Top Model with two straight guys last night, I realized the full brilliance of the show -- it stereotypically appeals to EVERYONE. Straight women like examining other women, straight guys and lesbians like hot chicks, and gay guys like fashion and cattiness. It's perfect!

In Bitches:

Cindy talks about reading Bill Clinton's book, and provides the setup:

Dear Self,

Love,
You Know Who

Polter-Cow

Aaah! Voldemort's writing letters to Cindy!

Cindy

He's a lurker. He supports me in email. It's thing.
